Safavian Gets a New Court Date
In June, an appeals court granted Jack Abramoff crony David Safavian a new trial.
Safavian, the former chief of staff for the General Services Administration, was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison for lying to investigators about his relationship with Abramoff, but the sentence was put on hold while the appeal played out.
Today, he was given a new trial date, set for December.
From the Washington Post:
Former White House aide David H. Safavian, whose lying and obstruction convictions connected to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal were tossed out by a three-judge panel in June, will go back to court in December for a new trial, according to court documents.

Let me guess . . . Mukasey sent a Friend of the Court brief stating that the conviction should be turned-over because he was a good boy who loves his mother.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
